Depends on the job.
Husq are typically a lot quicker and great for soft wood or small diameter stuff
Stihl are typically better for those tough, knotted logs or bigger diameter stuff (its all about torque)
Although, really it all depends on the models your comparing.
both are quality manufacturers

Both are very good. Choose one that suits your budget and cutting needs.

Up to now I have generally favoured Stihl because my Stihl saws run better than my Huskies, but as my Huskies are about as old as I am, that is not a fair comparison.
But now that this customer service issue has come to light, Husky wins hands down...
At least for the moment: it's not over yet...
